Hi John, Very well done with your commentary. I live in Northern OHIO and play bridge against your dad a couple times a week. He is also a big help. Hope to meet you in Memphis in March.
Thanks, John: love your running commentary! Very informative and entertaining.
B1: Your Lia raised with only three trumps! My standard 2/1 Lia bid 2C, and then they competed to 3D, so for me, it didn't look like we had a spade fit, so there was no Law of Total Tricks calculation.
B2: On the "2 and a half Spades" bid, I also went with just 2S, and I didn't get the "Lia would've bid something else" notice afterwards, so I guess we did right... It's North that should have pushed to game a bit!
B3: Good play for "all the tricks:" you beat me, and a lot of other folks. It looks like very few got all 10 available tricks.
WDDLD, I'll take it. Good set, and thanks for the useful commentary.
B1, my partner rebid 2C instead of 2S, so when 3D came back to me I had no reason to double. That board was interesting in another way, in that 7 tricks are available in spades, so if no one doubles, 3S can fetch -100 to beat -110.
B3, in 2H for some reason I took the H lead, SA and S ruff, then decided to test the clubs; RHO helpfully went up ace. H return, club to hand, HA, then cleared the spades. LHO drew my last trump, but I still got 9 tricks.
B4, I overcalled 2H and partner raised, and I took the same 8 tricks for -1.
Thanks, do come back!
Thanks John. On 1, I competed to 3S thinking I'd score D ruffs in dummy, robot W bid on to 4D which I X for -1. On 3, I played JH on the lead trying to discover where the Q lies, E played the 8. S to the A and D to the Ten on similar logic to you. E now plays AC, C and you make 10 tricks. On 4, I got to 3H, too high! Chopped the other two.

1) W - They found 2NT which I doubled - one off
2) D - flat board
3) W - 3NT - partner bid 2D then 3D
4) L - partner also showed heart support but by cuing clubs. went to 3H - and then 3 off - mistakenly ruffed high - and guessed the diamonds wrong. Nice analysis on the decision to stay out of game.
5) D - flat board

Interesting set!
B1: My partner never supported spades (why isn't she bidding 2S over 2D, does that show extra values?) so I think she's got a dog 2-5-1-5 or something like that. I sold out to 3D pretty fast, they may well make and we could go for a number if we compete further.
B2: Draw, but Lia E is actually good enough to duck the KD on the first round.
B3: I didn't stick in the 9 on the 1st D play from hand. It's obviously the right play once you think about it. Then I erred further by playing a C off dummy instead of scoring my HT via D ruff.

On B5 (the spade slam), my 2/1 Lia standard still uses both Serious/Non-serious and Last Train. Were you considering changing it so it only uses one or the other (preferably dumping Last Train? Unless a lot of people like it, I dunno...)
